VectorBase HANDS-ON WORKSHOP (optional pre-meeting workshop)
June 12, 1:00 pm to June 13, 5:00 pm
Seating is limited to 30 people, please register early to ensure a seat. VectorBase is a Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) focused on invertebrate vectors of human disease. VectorBase currently hosts 13 vector genomes, all of which are associated with well-established and characterized laboratory colonies. Vector genome projects currently in progress or planned include field-collected specimens. The goal of the workshop is to present a brief overview of the NEW VectorBase website and offer a training and data analysis opportunity to users. This two-day event will comprise a mixture of lectures and hands-on practical sessions where users can discuss their own data sets/problems with the instructors and fellow attendees. The instructors will be vector bioinformaticians and biologists. When you register please include your 1) research interest detailing your aims, hypotheses, research questions, gene or genes of interest; 2) data type you work with or would like to work with, e.g. RNA-seq, re-sequencing, SNP calls and; 3) data status, e.g. raw, processed or ready for submission (200 words maximum). The training room has no computers for participants to use during the workshop, please bring your own laptop. You are strongly encouraged to bring your own data to make the best out of the workshop.
LODGING:
